When scammers send you a link and when you click the link it directs you to a an account that when you add it it automatically changes your username and password. that's how they work. Eventhough you are playing steam will require you for the password and you will lose connection to your dota 2 instantly disconnecting you then when you try to relog in then you can't log in anymore.

I hope this helps...this came from the friend of mine who was scammed and also hacked.

If you click a link that directs outside of steam, the following warning appears:

Note: The URL you have clicked on is not an official Steam web site.

<link address>

If this web site asks for your user name or password, do not enter that information. You could lose your steam account and all your games! Are you sure you want to visit this page? Click OK to continue at your own risk.

The best thing to do would be to not click on any links given by anybody. And I notice posting trades on third-party sites like TF2 Outpost does trigger whatever controls those hijacked accounts. Whenever I post a new trade, I get a friend request almost instantly and that dude sends me that stupid link everytime I add him. It gets really frustrating because you don't know who really wants to trade with you.
